abstract: Niger is a landlocked country in West Africa located between 11°37´ and
23°23´ north latitude and between 00°10´ and 16°00´ east longitude,
with an area of 1,267,000 square kilometers. Niger shares borders with
Algeria and Libya in the north, Chad in the east, Nigeria and Benin in the
south, and Burkina Faso and Mali in the west. Three-fourths of Niger is covered
by the Sahara Desert. The southern part of the country is in the Sahelian
climate zone, with Sudan savannah vegetation. The rainy season lasts for only
three months, with total rainfall ranging from 150 to 600 millimeters per
year in the Sudan savannah; maximum temperatures are high (45°C in the
shade in April–May). The vegetation cover is sparse, and nomadic agriculture
is dominant...
